Chapter 27: The Wall.
There was a biting wind, and the dark water was sparkling as it rolled.
The entire wooden pier was covered in blood and flesh, red and black blood flowed horizontally, and filthy bones were floating among them.
The old fisherman's body had been cut into thousands of pieces, and the body parts were evenly scattered around. Blood stains flowed from the pier to the pier, dripping all the way into the inky black sea.
The fishing nets he dragged ashore and all the remaining aquatic products were scattered under the flagpole, all of which had stopped screaming.
The smell of the dead sea exudes a strong fishy smell that is nauseating.
In the mess of flesh and blood like a slaughterhouse, Ning Wuye and Zhong Kui Yueji both gasped for breath.
This is a ghost in the late stage of divine transformation!
Even if the two of them join forces, the battle just now was extremely dangerous.
Fortunately, the results are good now, they have solved the only ghost in this land of laws!
The two of them adjusted their breath for a while, then immediately took out the elixir and took it. Without enough time to wait for their magic power to recover, they both walked towards the trestle.
Zhongkui Yueji said in a deep voice: "When we started just now, we have already exposed the aura of a living person. I'm afraid other ghosts will come over soon, so we have to leave quickly."
Ning Wuye nodded slightly, and with a thought in his mind, the long sword behind his back was unsheathed silently, turning into a piercing sword light, which instantly cut through the sky and shot towards the sea.
The long sword was like lightning. At the snap of his fingers, it had already made a huge circle on the vast sea, then returned to the trestle and returned it to its sheath.
Ning Wuye said: "There are no restrictions on the sea, so you should be able to leave."
Seeing this, Zhong Kui nodded and said decisively: "Let's go!"
The two of them immediately used their escape techniques and fled deep into the sea.
They flew farther and farther over the sea and gradually disappeared...
At this moment, the entire sea area suddenly seemed like a huge curtain, rolling up slightly and returning to calm again.
pier.
Under the flagpole with the angry wind lantern hanging on it, among the many dead aquatic products scattered on the ground, a dead fish with discolored eyes suddenly began to twist.
It kept changing and expanding, and finally turned into an old figure, slowly getting up.
This figure also looks like an old man, but unlike the short and fat old man just now, this old man is tall and thin, with high cheekbones, deep-set eye sockets, and dark hollows inside, as if
Just a skin and bones.
He stood up slowly, and the aura around him changed. Soon, he became exactly like the fisherman just now.
The new fisherman turned his neck little by little. He seemed to be a little uncomfortable with this body, and his movements were slow and stiff. For a moment, he looked away, then squatted down and began to quietly collect the fishing net.
After taking some time to pack up the fishing net, the new fisherman dragged the fishing net through the bloody pier and towards the pier.
"Crunch", "Crunch", "Crunch"...
The old straw sandals stepped on the flesh and blood of the short and fat fisherman. Soon, the new fisherman reached the end of the trestle. He first threw the fishing net onto the deck, then leaned down with some difficulty, untied the heavy cable, and then climbed up.
Ship, anchor, hoist sail.
The wind howled and the sails swelled rapidly.
The fishing boat gradually left the pier and headed towards the sea.
※※※
The white mist is billowing and the yin energy is thick.
From time to time, gray skulls, black finger bones and half-skeletons are embedded in the soft soil.
Li Lieyue's black dress was flowing, the saint's crown on her head had quietly appeared, and the blood-colored skull surrounding her body had become much more crystal clear without realizing it.
However, her whole aura was much colder.
The originally pale face looked even more bloodless now, and even the lips had only a little light pink left, almost snow-white.
At first glance, there weren't many living people.
Yan Minghua, who was barely looking away from her, saw that the petals falling from the light pink silk umbrella were already wilting obviously. Yan Minghua's bright face also looked pale at the moment, and when her long eyelashes blinked, there was a bit of ice coldness.
The frost and snow are constantly condensing.
The two of them were silent, each looked at the compass in their hands and walked forward.
They haven't heard from each other for a long time.
And as time goes by, the place of law on the compass is getting closer and closer.
Suddenly, the surrounding fog began to thin gradually.
"Click."
Not far away, there was a sudden crisp sound.
The two men immediately stopped and looked at it, but they saw a thin piece of broken porcelain, already covered with soil, picked up by the wind and broken into three or four pieces.
After careful inspection, they found no clues and went forward.
Then I saw that there were other broken pieces of porcelain on the road, bamboo strips that were obviously artificially processed, remnants of cloth, carved scraps, and forged cast iron utensils...
As if there was a large-scale settlement in front of them, the two of them became more and more cautious and walked slower and slower.
After a while, the fog had become extremely thin, and a wall made of adobe bricks suddenly appeared in front of them.
This wall is a little taller than a person, just blocking their sight.
The top of the wall is inlaid with densely packed broken porcelain shards to prevent climbing, and the wall is made of adobe bricks mixed with straw powder.
Although the materials used are simple, the workmanship is very exquisite. The gaps in the adobe bricks are filled with glutinous rice juice. It can be seen that the entire wall is tightly sealed without any gaps.
However, I don’t know whether the glutinous rice juice is mixed with red yeast rice powder, or whether it is due to the age, and there are traces of red color in the gaps.
It looked like a blood stain that had dried for many years.
Li Lieyue and Yan Minghua immediately stopped. Their compasses showed that this was their destination.
There was no communication, so they immediately used their own methods to explore inside the wall.
As soon as the former thought, several translucent ghosts immediately appeared in the void. After saluting them, they tried to escape into the ground, enter through the wall, and fly past the earth wall.
The latter's silk umbrella rotated gently, and the light pink petals flew out from the umbrella surface, turning into a huge rain of flowers, sweeping towards the earth wall like a blanket, and soon some of them were submerged into the wall and disappeared; some were fluttering in the air.
, over the wall...
Soon, the two of them frowned at the same time, tried several methods in succession, and then stopped together.
Yan Minghua frowned. This earthen wall seemed ordinary, but it isolated the inside and outside. She found nothing.
Thinking of this, she immediately sent a message: "Li Yaonv, is Fellow Daoist Pei inside?"
Li Lieyue shook her head slightly. Now, she didn't even know what was inside the wall, so how could she know whether Junior Brother Pei was inside?
So, she replied calmly: "I'm not sure."
Immediately afterwards, Li Lieyue said again, "Remember the furnace tripod, you first look to see if there is a door."
"If not, just fly in directly."
This earthen wall is not high, not to mention the two of them, one Nascent Soul and one Avatar, even ordinary mortals with sound limbs can easily cross the wall.
However, this place is the place of Yousu Tomb's laws, so you can't be reckless.
Moreover, all the detection methods they had just used were ineffective. It would be too risky to go directly over the wall!
Therefore, the safest way is to walk along the wall and see if there is an existing entrance.
Hearing this, Yan Minghua snorted coldly.
Chapter completed!
